Playwriting & Dramaturgy

We facilitate Playwriting & Dramaturgy Services at Crescent Arts Centre. Keep an eye on their website for dates.

In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of playwriting including inspiration generation, tips for devising, formatting, structure, and writing dialogue. Participants will be supported through the writing of a short play.

You will also learn the fundamentals of dramaturgy including what dramaturgy is, the role of the dramaturg, and how to give and receive dramaturgical feedback. The class will work together to act as dramaturg on professional examples, before acting as dramaturg on each other’s works. 

This course is suitable for people of all experience levels, whether you are new to playwriting, or are an experienced playwright in need of inspiration.
